1.1
Fixed script to install userinit.d directory in the right place when no sd-ext partition.
1.0
First release
Can I use this script on any rom?
_probably_ but I have only tested it on CM5/6 ( so far )
the options marked with * require 'run-parts' this is where the boot.img executes scripts within a specified directory.
When I was writing the script I anticipated this and incorporated a check, disabling the install of the options which require it.
edit: the dc2x might do very nasty things to a none CM5/6, I'll insert a sanity check
I like the idea of some of the 'run-part' scripts, but my rom doesn't use that
I have an idea in mind, where I test the running boot.img's init.rc for the import/trigger commands. I can use that to setup a run parts
trouble is, not all ramdisks are made equal.
Some popular 'roms' don't have a boot.img with a compatible init, even though the init.rc has import/trigger. So it may not work and I don't fancy manually fixing all the broken boot.imgs
But I may at some point detail how you can do that yourself
Some more detail on the options
*new* Random Bootanimations
This adds a script which will randomly select a bootanimation from /sd-ext/bootanimations ( or /data/local/bootanimations/ if /sd-ext is not mounted )
it searches for zip files in the bootanimations folder.
you can either have
unique names e.g.
/sd-ext/bootanimations/bootanimation1.zip
/sd-ext/bootanimations/bootanimation2.zip
/sd-ext/bootanimations/nexusanim.zip
or each in its own folder e.g.
/sd-ext/bootanimations/ba1/bootanimation.zip
/sd-ext/bootanimations/nexus/bootanimation.zip
/sd-ext/bootanimations/another/another.zip
or a mix of both, I don't care
if /system/media/bootanimation.zip exists, that will also have a random chance
( personally I remove it from the ROM before flashing, it saves me a chunk of system space,, I just put a copy in /sd-ext/bootanimations/
*new* data/data binds
Space tight on data?
this will put /data/data ( and /data/sysem ) on your sd-ext, and bind mount them back to data
it will free up 30+mb * on /data
* depends on how many and what apps you have
if you decide you don't like it
Code:
su
sh /sd-ext/userinit.d/11datadata-binds off
to turn it off , note it will check if you have enough space on data, don't blame me if it refuses to move it back, or if it moves it back and you get low space warnings. titanium backup and do a full wipe and start again from scratch
shabang
simply adds #!/system/bin/sh to the wrapper scripts for some of the java code in /system/framework
basically it will let you run things like pm ( package manager ) from an Almquist shell (ash), bash or busybox sh ( which I think is just ash )
remount
is a somewhat bloated script inspired by Maxisma's rwsystem script
the 'bloat' is cachehack detection ( to make sure all system files are rw ) and some feedback, both to the user and any scripts which use it (via a 0/1 exit code )
lwp
when I first did the '3D' kernel for CE1.2, ( based on what Case_ did )
I hinted in the ramdisk's init.rc at what goes on here
the patch does two things
first , on boot it restricts access to /dev/msm_hw3dr and /dev/msm_hw3dc, so only root and the graphics group can access it.
Then, we give the graphics group to apps which have the android.permission Write External Storage
the idea being that Live wallpapers would be forced to drop back to software3d
( we know lwp worked ok(ish) on ramhack kernels ; )
but Gallery3D and most Games get given graphics group ( becuse they have the WES permission )
NB, this will not fix the 'Nexus LWP Pack' pushed from another ROM
only Market LWP will work on cm5 test3
swap
on boot get a script to run, which just runs swapon against every sd partition, its a 'suck and see' but it works no matter which partition you have swap on, so no messing about editing it for typical g1 setup fat32/ext/swap , or an mt3g with just fat32/swap
fb
Edits the build.trout.prop file, changing a couple of values so that facebook 1.2.1 sync works
( if you ask me its the app which is broken, but this is a workaround )
fixp
the fix_permissions script is hardcoded with the legacy /system/sd, this patch converts it to use $SD_EXT_DIRECTORY
so it won't miss apps on your sd card ext partition
dc2x
Dalvik-cache bind mounts
For NoneDangerSPL , a bind mount between /cache/dalvik-cache and /data/dalvik-cache is created on boot
NoneDanger has a /cache partition of 67mb , which is perfectly adequate for the dex files
it frees up space on data ( which is 14mb smaller than DangerSPL )
For DangerSPL
/cache is way too small, at just 30mb , but stock cm5's framework and system app dex files are 31mb , which does eat right into the space available on data
so, a bind mount between /sd-ext/dalvik-cache and /data/dalvik-cache is created on boot., very much like the old style a2sd
this option will free up space on data, especially useful if you have apps which want to create large /data/data/ directories
for MT3G , didn't make much sense to do anything, data is huge, but with /cache at 80mb I could be persuaded to bind with that
reserving for future use
great work firerat.

yeah, should be fine
can't guarantee it as I haven't looked at superbad, but if it is cm5 based, no problem.
so how do we use it? Just download the patch to the root of sd and run the commands from terminal or what?

Code:

will setup swap, patch fix_permissions to see apps on sd
and setup the gpu permissions to enable lwp + 3d apps

thanks, I should of waited before i asked that question... Right after posting I read back over the OP and saw the example in the code box. Gonna try this out now.
Awesome work Firerat. Just used it to fix Facebook sync in CM 5.0.7-t3 for G1. Works perfectly.
Re: [PATCH] Firerat 'all in one' patch file [ v1.2 - 2010-05-11 ]
Works like a charm, after a flash and a fix, I haven't the slightest problem.
Thanks firerat!
Oh, and if you delete /sd-ext/userinit.d/25Swap
swap will be turned off
(I'll add a revert feature to the script )

has this been done?

as I don't have a mytouch 1.2 I can't test it
but I can't think why it wouldn't work if it worked on a g1
maybe I need to clarify, it won't fix the lwp which fc, because they are not supported in the framework
currently, cm5 test3 , only lwp from the market work
it appears lwp are being coded out of the dream/magic frameworks
presumably because of their lack of stability
Hi Firerat
I've installed the patch because my facebook wasn't syncing properly; I installed the "/all". Thanks now facebook syncs but since that I can not switch back to 2G only, even when I tick the "only 2G network" the 3G icon and connexion are always here, it firstly disappear and then 2 sec after the 3G reappears.
Do you havea a clue ?
Cheers !

Yea, I wasn't banking on it working with the Nexus default LWP but I still get the reset glitch when it goes into sleep mode using seeds of life LWP off the market.

sorry , not a clue
and I really can't see how anything would effect 3G
Thanks for the reply mate, I was thinking about the same, the script changes nothing related to the 3G settings, I really don't understand :s
I will nand backup
Keep up the good shared work anyway

hmm,
seeds of life seems to be working on my g1
let me see if I can figure out why it wouldn't be working for you
My bad Fire, I just backed up, test 3 img before your script was being installed, wiped everything and had the same problem again, so nothing to do with your work

Notes: *Read this part!!
The RCMixHD v3.0 D2WE uses melethrons data2whatever script, which need one ext partition, can be ext2/3 or ext4. Recommended 1-1.5GB ext3/4
The RCMixHD v3.0 D2EXT uses ownheres data2ext v8.5 script, recommended partition layout is (works without swap and with one ext partition too):
Fat + 1GB Ext4 + 0.3GB Ext4 + 0.1GB Swap (ext partitions will by formated as ext4 automaticly)
The first boot takes long time due the data2ext setup process, it stays on the first splash screen (why so serious or htc) for couple of minutes, stay calm
Nandroid backup isn't working with 2.0.0 or older Versions of Amon Ra. There is a newer Version available in this post. Clockwork does also work. Thanks melethron for that info. *New
If you are curious of what your phone is doing, if it has freezed or if it is still alive, connect your phone to usb and do adb logcat from terminal, then report what is going on...
In the begining the rom can feel laggy, it is caused by all your app beeing downloaded and synced
Overclock with SetCpu, overclock widget from market.
Be cautious when overclocking, do it always with small steps!
If you have problems installing the rom, try to repartition your sd card, make a full wipe and try to install it again.
Restoring a titanium backup may cause some FC, use with caution.
More FAQ and info in 2nd post, (working in progress there, hints appreciated )
Known bugs:
Everything should be fine!
Requirement:
Full wipe required due different structure of the rom.
A2SD version - Fat + Ext3/4, 0.5-1.5GB recommended.
D2WE version - Fat + Ext3/4, 1-1.5GB recommended.
D2EXT version - Fat + Ext4 + Ext4 + Swap (fat+1GB+0.3GB+0.1GB) recommended, but works without swap and with one ext partition too.
Check this post how to partition your sd-card
DATA++ version - Fat + Ext3/4 1-1.5GB recommended. (custom MTD needed)

Instructions and FAQ
Here will i put some instructions and FAQ it seems to be needed...
UNDER PROGRESS...Partitioning:
BEWARE THAT IF YOU ARE CREATING NEW PARTITIONS YOU CAN LOSE YOUR DATA ON YOUR SDCARD
MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR PICS/MUSIC/DOCUMENTS/BACKUPS (simply copy them over to your computer )...
I recommend partitioning using either Amons recovery or boot a GParted Live CD.
If you want to use Amons recovery. (If you dont have it on your phone, search a guide for how to flash it)
Turn off your phone.
Press and hold volume down button and turn on your phone holding the volume down button all the time, until you see a white screen with some info and a menu.
Scroll down and choose RECOVERY, you are scrolling with volume upp/down buttons and accepting with power button. (you maybe have to wait few seconds before be able to scroll)
Now your phone has rebooted to your recovery.
Scroll down to Partition sdcard (this time you are scrolling with D-Pad)
Choose Partition SD and confirm it, then choose those values.
Swap-size = 0MB
Ext2-size = 2048 (thats what i use, you can choose 1024 if you have small Sd-card)
rest will be FAT32 (for your storage)
Press D-Pad to confirm and wait.
Here is a part related to partitioning
Paxtons great movie, should work for all users
GParted live cd:
Here is a small how to by MasDroid, Thanks man.
MasDroid said:
You can use an Ubuntu live cd of GParted, or use it from within Ubuntu
1) Connect your phone to your computer (or use an SD Card adapter...., in this case skip to 4)
2) Pull down the notification bar and mount the phone
3) Start Gparted
4) Gparted will search available drives. (Your phone should show up as a USB drive, and will be something like /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1, etc..)
Warning: double-check you've not selected a hdd by mistake!
5) In the upper right corner, select the correct USB device for your phone. (i.e. check to make sure it is correct size for your SD card)
6) Right click on each partition and select 'unmount'
7) Right click on each partition and select 'delete'
If you know what you are doing, you can re-size the partitions and add a new 2nd partition formatted as ext2/3/4
8) Right click on the big gray bar (should say unallocated x.xx gb) and click 'new'
9) Enter configurations
Free Space preceding = 0
Create as = Primary
New size = [don't touch]
File system = fat32
Free Space Following = 512 (or whatever you want)
10) Click add
11) Right click on the big gray bar (should say unallocated x.xx gb) and click 'new'
12) Enter configurations
Free Space preceding = 0
Create as = Primary
New size = [don't touch]
File system = ext2/3/4 (recommend ext4)
Free Space Following = 0 (or ~32 if you want swap)
Click add
13) Click edit, then 'Apply All Operations' to write changes to disk
14) Quit GParted
15) Unmount your SD Card
16) Reboot your phone
Click to expand...

Data ++ version
RCMixHD v3.5 ++
S-OFF Only
Read more about the concept here
This is highly experimental, use at own responsibility, dont blame me for any brick.
Short info:
This is how i understand it hehe, so if it is wrong, please correct me
In deodexed roms, the apk it self is like a container for the app, when it installs it runs actually from dalvik-cache, so this rom is designed to, store the apks on ext and run the dalvik from internal phone memory (data partition)
When all apks are moved to ext, the rom it self is under 130MB big, so there is no need for a bigger system partition.
So what we need to do, is repartition the internal phone memory to fit the rom better.
Originally your internal space is divided like this:
250.0 MB - system
147.6 MB - userdata
40.0 MB - cache
What we need or want for the ++ rom is (in RCMixHD case):
130.0 MB - system
302.6 MB - userdata
5.0 MB - cache
I have maked a zip package to make the process easier, here i what i used, you can also read more about it. Thanks Firerat for that
Ofcourse to flash this you have to be S-OFF, dont think the patcher works on S-ON...
Here is what you need to flash this rom:
First of all little adb and fastboot knowledge, in case anything goes wrong.
It works on my phone, so here is little info about what i have/use,
the patch is patching the recovery, it should work with Clockwork 2.x, dont know about the 3.x, but it works for sure with the one i have, Ra recovery 2.0.1
My setup:
Recovery: RaRecovery 2.0.1
Hboot: S-OFF 0.93.1000
Radio:5.14.05.17
You need at least 1GB big ext partition.
Package to patch your MTD to proper sizes:
[*]Custom MTD sizes, 130MB system, 5MB cache, rest data, you dont need this, if you already have alpharev Bravo CM7 on your phone.
[*]Original MTD sizes, 250MB system, 40MB cache, rest data *You will still have the patched recovery, which is not recommended to flash radios with, to flash radio, you will have to flash original recovery before.removed until proper tested :/ sorry for that...
Or use Alpharev method and flash the Bravo CM7 hboot
You can use this tool to flash Alpharevs Hboot, should be easy, not tested myself tho.
The ++ roms:
RCMixHD 3.5++ Rotated or DeSensenized
Stepps to flash this rom:
Copy the MTD files and the rom to your sd-card
Reboot to recovery
Make a nandroid backup (optional)
Do a full wipe (to be sure)
Flash the Custom MTD zip and wait for the recovery to reboot
Do a full wipe again (to be sure)
Flash the rom and reboot
Now just wait, the phone will reboot twice more again, but dont worry, it is a step of the A2SD installation
To revert to non ++ rom, flash the Original MTD sizes patch, or if you are on Alpharev Bravo CM7, flash the Bravo Stock 1.8oo
Attention, if you after all get a no boot after flashing the rom, please repeat the steps from step 4.
How to flash batterymod from UOT kitchen:
Bake your battermod, download it and unzip it
take this ++ battery mod package (the same as in the first post)
open it with winrar
replace the framework-res.apk in the ++ package with the one you unzipped in step one
close winrar
turn off verification in recovery (not needed if you use clockwork, it is disabled by default)
flash and reboot

Waiting for response from someone
Let's see if it boots properly.
Camera works?
This project is now discontinued and will recieve no further updates nor support.
First of all, thanks petter (https://github.com/havlenapetr), Czech Samsung Galaxy developer, for idea and source codes.
What do I mean?
You have one ROM in internal memory as usual, and another one in folder on SD card ext partition. You can easily switch between them - just move rom from ext partition to some backup folder.
See guide in second post
How is it done?
Lets look on how android boots - its (roughly) like that:
1. Bootloader - forks between recovery, fastboot and normal boot
2. Linux kernel - Unpacks its initrd, loads drivers and many more things, not important now
3. Init - kernel runs this program, which mounts android partitions, sets correct permissions to files, starts services, and in the end, starts android itself
4. Android - Dunno much about it yet, anyway not important now
So, what we need to do is mount something else than internal memory in init. Init parses & runs simple scripts, which makes it simpler to mount sdcard folders.
We need to add mknod and bind mounting to init binary. Unfortunately, we dont have sources of init modified by LG (that thing is three(!) times larger than init compiled from AOSP, what the hell is in there?!). That is solved by running modified init, which parses "preinit.rc" with mounts and then runs LG init.
Commit: https://github.com/Tasssadar/init/commit/aa3604ca90f5ef9b688fdc2e3cc865aa29a54809
preinit.rc: https://github.com/Tasssadar/init/blob/b4e701e8bc4831fadbefa64be48300139dcc2023/ramdisk/preinit.rc
This would be all, if original LG init would not remount /system and /data from internal memory. Also, nearly every ROM has different init.rc, and wont boot without it.
To solve this, I created "import_boot" command in init, which copies *.rc files and LG init from ramdisk(well, its only folder with these files extracted from ramdisk for now) on sdcard ext partition. This command also puts comments out every line with mount /data, /system or /cache in init.rc file, so LG init wont remount them.
Commit: https://github.com/Tasssadar/init/commit/dc3fa50d65d1221a4fb819d8ee616765ee043e83, https://github.com/Tasssadar/init/commit/f7bc141b1e4b7d214e49d4bb005c71237231436c and https://github.com/Tasssadar/init/commit/1cde6b6a093d4ac1f961e610c5229605bc517b52
Format of ROM on ext partition:
All files from paritions in internal memory copied to sd ext partition with preserved owners and permissions(!).
So, when I copy data, I do "cp -r -p /data/* /sd-ext/multirom/rom/data/" (I suggest to run this via adb shell while in recovery).
Currently, I mount /system, /data and /cache from sdcard. If one or more of these folders does not exist, its equivalent from internal memory is used.
It would be nice to have *.img files from nandroid backups instead of this, but as far as I know, they cant be just mounted.
As for *.rc files, I put them into /sd-ext/multirom/rom/boot folder. I would like to just copy boot.img and extract files in init, but I did not find way to extract it when I have hardly STL usable in init. I'd like to use kernel's internal decompressor, but I dont know how.
Limitations
- Both ROMs must be compatible with one kernel - kernel is already loaded in init
- ROMs must be for same baseband, obviously
- Kernel modules(wifi, for example) of both ROMs must be compatible with one kernel. That can be easily solved by copying modules from one ROM to another, though.
- It will be slower than internal memory.
Integration with recovery
Definitely possible & usefull. This is integration in my modified AmonRa recovery: https://github.com/Tasssadar/Amon-R...mmit/bd0232f7379993c296b0223973b81e8c55dc3ee2
Security risk
/system on sdcard can't be mounted read-only - I'd have to mount whole sdcard read-only. This is possible security hole, but you cant do much without root anyway, because of permissions. And if you have root, it does not matter if its read-only or not.
Conclusion
So, it is possible to have dual-boot. You can use it to develop ROMs(you can directly edit data in /data and /system), as backup ROM when you are testing something in internal memory which does not boot, and you need to call someone or when our devices will be so old that bad blocks in internal memory wont allow us to boot
But, as you can see, It is not something that average user could do, at least not yet. Maybe I could modify recovery to do everything for the user (copy data from /system, /data and /cache, extract *.rc files from boot) and create some flashable ZIPs which would modify the init.
But there are some problems - some ROMs may not be compatible with this and there are multiple recoveries out there, but theres not single one which is only for our phone - both AmonRa and ClockworkMod are developed for wide range of devices. Yes, both of them can be modified, but I doubt they creators would accept such inflexible and device-specific thing.
What do you think, is it worth it?
Tested ROMs (first one is in internal memory, second one is on SDcard)
Working:
Megatron and stock v10a ROM - stock rom is slow
Megatron and devoid #froyo-final - like ten times faster than stock xD
LightRom(2.2.2) and devoid #froyo-final (and vice versa)
Megatron and Megatron - both ROMs can have a2sd
Megatron and Mik's CM7 6.5.8 - since v2
Gingerbread 2.3.4 from Optimus Net and CM7 6.6.1 (thx eduardogouveia for testing)
Stock 2.2.2 and CM7 6.5.8 (thx eduardogouveia for testing) - if you have ext4 partition, you need custom kernel for stock ROM.
.void 2.3.4 and stock V20B (thx diazneoones for testing)
CM7 6.5.8 and .void 2.3.4 (thx diazneoones for testing)
CM7 nightlies and Lupohirp's СM9 (thx aquapp for testing)
Not working
None found yet, but when CM7 is on sdcard, it looses root. Trying to figure out why. - fixed in v10
PS: I hope I explained it correctly, not exactly good at this. Do not fear to ask, if you don't understand something.
OK, here goes guide for average user. This is still highly experimental feature, keep that in mind. Backup, backup backups and backup them to PC, read whole guide first, I am not responsible for your bricked phone etc.
GUIDE:1. Requirements
Ext4/Ext2/Ext3 partition on SDcard big enough to hold all files from /system and /data, which is from 170mb to 400mb (depends on ROM and apps installed), so I think 512mb partition is minimum (if its 90% or so free).
Modified recovery. Only AmonRa and CWM version is available at this time, TeamWin is coming "soon". You can find flashable zip at the bottom of this post, flash it before you proceed to next move. If something goes wrong, you can restore your recovery with zips from here.
Kernel with ext2/3/4 support, which is basically every but stock
Both ROMs you wanna use must be compatible with same kernel. See Limitations in previous post
2. MultiROM instalation
- Via MultiROM Mgr application
I recommend you do nandroid backup before installing via this app.
Download MultiROM Manager (link at the bottom of this), tap to "Tap to install via this app" and wait. As simple as that. Mgr will also install recovery for you (It will ask you which one, you can select AmonRa, CWM and none). App can check & install update, too.- Via recovery
Just download multirom.zip at the bottom of the post, make nandroid backup and flash it. Your current ROM will be the one in internal memory, we will setup the one on the SDCard in next move.
Now, try to reboot the phone (boot will take little longer, because it has to mount ext partition). If it boots up correctly, then its OK - your ROM is supported. If not, then restore your nandroid backup and post your ROM name here, maybe I'll try to make it working.
3. Setup ROM on the sdcard
Make nandroid backup (I am not kidding, you will need this one), flash ROM which you wanna to have on SDcard, do the first boot (because it will create dalvik-cache, and you dont wanna do that when its already on sdcard) and reboot to recovery again.
Go to "MultiROM options" menu and select "Create from current ROM". It will do everything for you (it takes time, though). ROM on the sdcard is placed in /sd-ext/multirom/rom/, backups are in /sd-ext/multirom/backup/.
Restore nandroid backup from beggining of this step and reboot. Wait until Boot manager shows up, and select SDcard as boot location. ROM from sdcard should boot. If your ROM from internal memory boots or if its stuck, something got wrong and you should restore from backup.
4. MultiROM recovery menu description
Active/deactive state is for recovery only, you can boot ROMs from backup in boot manager - that means its N-times boot rather than dual-boot.
When not active(boot from internal memory):
Activate (move from backup) - when you already have backup, this will move it to active folder (fast).
Activate (copy from backup) - same as above, but it copies it instead of moving
Create from current ROM - pretty self-explanatory
Create from ZIP file - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22194117#post22194117
When active(boot from sdcard):
Deactivate (move to backup) - Moves current ROM to backup folder, so next boot will be from internal memory
Backup - Creates backup of current ROM
Erase current ROM - Deletes current rom, next boot will be from internal memory
Copy modules from int mem - Copies modules from ROM in internal memory to SDcard. Try this if WiFi does not work in SDcard ROM.
Flash ZIP - flash ZIP file to ROM on SD card, for example gapps.
5. Config file:
It is recommended to use Multirom Manager(see bottom of this post) to change config file.
File itself is placed on sdcard and its name is multirom.txt. Description of its contents is in this post(post is updated if something changes): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20045183#post20045183
6. Key bindings:
Since v11, you also can control MultiROM via touchscreen.
Anywhere: Hold Power button to shut down the phone
While on main screen:
VolUp/Down - list between actions
Menu - Confirm action
Back - Reboot to recovery
Power button - Sleep mode
While playing tetris
VolUp - return to main screen
VolDown - pause
Menu - move the piece to left
Home - hard-drop
Back - rotate piece
Search - move the piece to right
FAQ:Q: It is slow!
A: Its sdcard. It just is slower than nand memory.
Q: It does not work with my ROM
A: Post your ROM combination here, maybe I'll see to it.
Q: When do I need to reflash?
A: When you flash new ROM or do something which rewrites boot partition. Most (if not all) kernels are using Koush's AnyKernel, so they should not cause any problems.

If you decide to go ahead with it, I wish you the best of luck =P
I just modified Koush's AnyKernel so that it can modify ramdisk's content, so it is possible to install it with .zip file via recovery. I will add some modified version of CWM & AmonRA, create some walkthrough video and write some guide soon(c).
By the way, that kernel which is in devoid #froyo-final cant mount ext4 partition in init, dunno why, I'll look into it after raid.
EDIT: wtf, it just works now, and I did nothing Oo
EDIT2: Changes commited, now It can installed/controlled only by flashable ZIPs and recovery(well, only my modified AmonRa recovery for now). I'll do the rest soon, but I dont know when - maybe tomorrow (oh my, it is today actually already), maybe next month.
Flashable zips and guide added, see first and second post.
keep going I wanted something like this waiting when it can boot stock<froyo> and cm7....
thanx
gingerbread test
well i try with V20C,2.3.4 port(both with a2sd)and didnt woork after flash multiromv1.zip,when reobooting always return to recovery,so in recovery i go to multirom options and says no multirom folder so i start to think a2sd imcompatibelity,so i grab 2.3.3 V20G without changes oficial as lg give us but the results where the same no a2sd problem....
well later i will flash oldbaseband and try one of your combinations but i think its not compatible with gingerbread.....
I think I found it - on GB, there is "on fs" trigger in init.rc, which has only mounts in there, but I need to comment them out - all of them, so "on fs" trigger is empty, and init parser cant handle that. Will update soon.
Ok i will remain in new baseband to try when you update your exclente work...

How to install or update:
REQUIREMENTS:
- CM7r2 or stock HBOOT (from Alpharev)
- A 1 to 1.5GB ext4 partition (see partition guide for 4EXT Recovery).
- A recovery with touch drivers: I recommend 4EXT Recovery. Optional but recommended. Must be S-OFF to use 4EXT! (see S-OFF guide).
INSTALLATION:
- For a step-by-step description of the installation process, see Runnymede AIO - Installation guide.
- For help partitioning your SD card, see 4EXT Recovery - Partition guide.

Important install notes:
- If you are coming from another ROM (or another base version of this ROM), perform a full wipe!
- If you are installing an updated version of this ROM with the same base, wipe cache, dalvik cache, system and boot. Then, select the same apps you have selected before in the INSTALLER!
- If you choose AD2SDX script in the installer, let the ROM settle down after first install. If an error occurs, just click "wait" (don't select "close"!). Then reboot. After that, you can restore your apps and settings. (Errors may occur with AD2SDX if you don't reboot first after install!)
- If you select some things in RCTeam Tweaks, you need to turn on WiFi, because some options need to download files from capychimp's server. Also, some options only take effect after a reboot (read the small text beneath the option).
- If you want Beats Audio to work, go to Settings/RCMix3D Tweaks/Miscellaneous Options/Beats Boost and select it. Wait 1 minute, and then reboot.

INT2SD
INT2SD doesn't use symlinks nor bind mounts. Instead of going through a symlink or a bind mount on the data partition, it makes Android write and read directly to and from the ext2/3/4 partition on your SD. INT2SD now, for the first time ever, comes in two flavours tailored to your needs:
INT2SD-M - "Mass"
Main characteristics:
/data on SD ext
number of apps is only limited by ext size
made for people who never have enough apps
requires a faster card
for use with fatsys HBOOT
Description:
The classic "mass" flavour mounts ext to /data, thus eliminating the need for the mtd5 userdata partition. This makes the mtd5 userdata partition unneeded. It is used in conjunction with the fatsys HBOOT and is the prime choice for all app-addicts! If you have a fast card and desire a huge amount of applications, INT2SD-M is for you.
INT2SD-S - "Speed"
Main characteristics:
/data on SD ext, /data/data on internal
/data/data limited to 280 MB (probably enough for more than 100 user apps)
noticeably faster on slower cards
for use with CM7r2 HBOOT
Description:
The new "speed" flavour mounts ext to /data and userdata to /data/data, achieving great speed while still retaining excellent storage capabilities. It's used with the CM7r2 HBOOT. If you have a slower card and are not severely app-hungry, but you still wish to experience the magic of INT2SD, then you will surely like INT2SD-S.
fatsys HBOOT
- More info or questions about the fatsys and hboot:go here.
INT2SD Sense ROMs require a special HBOOT, fatsys. This special HBOOT has 427 MB dedicated for /system, 5 MB for /cache and 5 MB for /data and there is probably no ROM without INT2SD that would work on it properly. It was made so that the largest part of Desire's internal memory can be used for quick access to vital system files by storing them in /system instead of symlinking them to /sd-ext, therefore slowing the entire system down. There is still plenty of space for your apps if you make a large enough SD ext partition, since SD ext gets mounted to /data and the real, 5 MB mtd5 userdata partition goes unused. So, /data on SD ext, huge /system and no symlinks! Before flashing a Sense INT2SD ROM, make sure you have flashed the fatsys HBOOT!

General Q&A:
(Q) Can I show support for the developer of this awesome Rom.?
(A) Look at the top of the Original Post (#1) and use the donate button. Consider how much time and resources have gone into this awesome rom.
(Q) What's so "Special" about the new Special Editions?
(A) Where do we start? It uses the 1st of its kind touch screen Aroma Installer which detects your HBOOT version, allows you to select which apps to install, select which storage system you want to use and all done with a beautiful and simple user interface. Not forgetting the fully functioning Sense 3.5 launcher with RCTeam Tweaks, a super slick response and choice of working camera's, social networking and Beats sound enhancement.

Known errors and faults Q&A:
(Q) Is there a fix for occasional screen freeze or stall during calls?
(A) This has been reported by a few. There have been people testing new HBOOT versions, updating radios, re-formatting SDcards or replacing them. One user has fixed his in-call freeze issue by flashing Bravo Data++ hboot from http://alpharev.nl
I will update this regularly as results start to come in.
(Q) My phone is giving me low memory warnings – Help!
(A) There are two possible reasons:
1. If you are using AD2SD and haven’t moved the Dalvik to the SD Card it can be taking up a lot of room in the phone.
2. All apps, even when they are on the SD Card due to AD2SDX, still have some component in the phone; eventually the phone memory will become low. Test this by getting Cache Cleaner from the market and use it to clear the cache and see if the low memory warnings stop. If you can’t install Cache Cleaner because memory is too low, boot into recovery, clear the Cache (but NOT the Dalvik cache) and then reboot. Then try installing the Cache Cleaner app.
(Q) My battery seems to die when the display still shows 20% (amount varies)
(A) This happens with some kernels, but not others; mainly snq-'s kernel is affected by this issue. Try flashing another kernel to see if the problem goes away.
Other than that, make sure your battery is properly calibrated. Clear the battery stats as follows:
- Power off the phone and fully charge it until the led is green.
- Turn the phone on for a couple of minutes until the battery indicator drops from 100% to 99%.
- Power off the phone again and charge it again while watching. As soon as the led turns green proceed to the next step.
- Unplug the charger, boot the phone into Recovery mode and reset (or wipe) the battery stats.
- Reboot and continue to use as normal.
(Q) After an install my phone seems to constantly sync.... whats up?
(A) That issue has been tracked down to Facebook live feeds. Try uninstalling Facebook for Sense and installing Facebook for Android available free from the market. Or go unto settings>accounts & sync, select Facebook and uncheck live feed. (It'll be the one with the spinning sync next to it)
(Q) I get an error ”can’t Mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File Exists)”.
(A) That error and others like it are generally caused by a corrupt ext partition on your SD Card. The solution is to use 4EXT recovery, gParted, or a similar tool to reformat the ext partition to ext4. Leave the FAT32 partition alone and you shouldn’t lose any data. Don't use Windows-based partition tools!
Some suggest using ext3 as it is a known quantity and most ROMS will boot with an ext3 partition, however Runnymede AIO requires an ext4 partition.
(Q) When I boot up I get a "UID Inconsistent" warning. What can I do?
(A) If that displays, press "I'm feeling lucky". Then open root explorer and look at: /data/system/uiderrors.txt It should give you the information which apps are corrupted. Uninstall them, reboot and reinstall.
(Q) I've just installed the ROM and I can't boot back into recovery.
(A) Make sure Fastboot is not checked. You can find that option in Settings>Power. If it's unchecked, you should be able to get into recovery.
(Q) Beats doesn't seem to work.
(A) Check if RCMix3D Tweaks>Misc Options>Beats Boost is checked. Start the player with headphones plugged in; it can take up to 10 secs for music to play. Once started the music will pause when headphones are removed. Hit play again and it will continue, though you won't benefit from the bass boost through the built-in speaker.
Alternatively, ditch Beats and select DSP Manager from the ROM installation menu. If offers more control over the sound and a better bass boost!
(Q) Why can't I connect to my PC with the USB?
(A) Make sure USB Debugging is checked in Settings>Applications>Development. If it is, the USB symbol should display in the header bar when the lead is connected. If it still doesn't display, you might need to install up-to-date drivers on your PC.
(Q) The volume seems too loud/quiet... Can I fix it?
(A) Two methods:
- Easy one: go into RCtweaks>System tab>Enable/Disable Commands>Enable Xloud. Make sure WiFi is on!
- Not so easy one: follow the addons link in the second post. Download RunnyMede_Loud.zip to increase basic volume or RunnyMede_No_Loud.zip to turn down volume. Drop the zip to your SD card and boot into recovery, wipe dalvik and select the zip from SD to install.
(Q) I've installed everything and I keep getting a boot loop on first startup.
(A) Make sure the installer detects the correct version for your HBOOT (stock or CM7/r2). Another common reason is people installing AD2SDX on the stock HBOOT version. It WILL NOT WORK. Wipe everything and install again but this time select "generic A2SD" in the installer.
(Q) I see comments about excessive battery drain. How bad is it?
(A) For me and many others, its not bad at all. I get 36+ hours moderate use from a single charge. There are a few who report losing 1% every minute.... and despite changing radios, formatting sdcard, disabling WiFi etc. they see no improvement. It varies from device to device.
However, always consider that Sense 3.5 is a heavy program and was never designed for the Desire hardware. There are so many variables, like signal strength, background apps, brightness levels... it's impossible to guarantee how long the battery will last with any one individual setup.
Always make sure your battery is calibrated before reporting bad battery life (scroll up for the recommended calibration method).

Installation Q&A:
(Q) Do I absolutely need to install a touch-enabled recovery to use AIO SE versions?
(A) No. You can still use your existing recovery. Scroll up and down using volume keys or track button. However, it is recommended that you install 4EXT Recovery, which is designed for the desire. It has all the usual recovery features, as well as a partition tool and touch screen control version. Installing a new ROM will never be the same again.
(Q) How do I know which version to install?
(A) That's easy. The new Aroma Installer checks your phones internal storage partition size to see which HBOOT version you are running. It will then install the correct version. This has been tweaked to allow a more accurate detection but please feel free to post your query if this is wrong for you. Download "Quick System Info" free from the market and quote internal/external storage for any queries.
(Q) I've installed the ROM and it's booting up, but all I'm seeing is a the boot animation. How long should it take?
(A) I have seen users reporting the 1st boot take over 20 minutes, so be patient. If it's still not running after 25 mins, personally I'd pull the battery and try a reboot - but that's just me, and I wouldn't direct anyone to do the same. Worst case scenario is you do a full wipe and try the install again; you won't have lost anything if you made a backup before you started.
(Q) It says in the OP it states do a full wipe when going from old to new base... what versions are we talking about?
(A) As a rule, a jump in version like v3.0 to v4.0 is a new base and requires a full system, boot, cache and dalvik wipe. Anyone updating a version (ie v3.1 to v3.2) only need to do a partial wipe (explained in more detail below). Reformatting your SD is optional but may cut down on compatability problems.
(Q) Do I need to do a full wipe every time I flash a newer version.?
(A) If you are installing a simple rom update (e.g. v3.0.3 to v3.0.4), then a simple cache and dalvik cache wipe is ok. If, however, you are going from an earlier base to the latest one (e.g. v3.0.x to v4.0.x), you should always wipe system, boot, cache and dalvik. Reformatting your SD is optional but may cut down on compatability problems. Note that there are times when a full wipe will be necessary even inbetween new base releases; read the install instructions carefully.
(Q) How do I need to setup my memory card?
(A) The desired partition layout is:
- Main storage: fat32 primary partition
- Minimum 1024MB ext4 primary partition (max 1.5GB, there have been problems with bigger ext4 partitions)
- Zero swap partition
GParted seems to be the tool of choice, Alpharev CWM recovery works but I'd suggest 4EXT Recovery which has a good partition tool built in. I have done a full picture guide on SD card partitions available here. Don't read this and then install a 2GB ext4 partition with 5MB swap, and then complain because your phone's acting up!
(Q) How and when should I wipe?
(A) Wiping between ROM flashes is always a good idea, but can sometimes be very inconvenient, so here are some general guidelines to follow.
When the Android version changes, you will always need to do a full wipe, and if you change from one type of ROM to another, again a full wipe is required. If you are upgrading to the latest version of your current ROM (as long as the Android version hasn't changed) you will only need to wipe cache and dalvik cache. See below for some examples.
- Moving from CM7 to RunnyMede AIO - full wipe required!
- Upgrading from RunnyMede v3.0.2 to RunnyMede v3.0.3 - full wipe not required!
- Upgrading from RunnyMede v3.0.3 to RunnyMede v4.0.1 - full wipe required!
The recommended method of wiping is again in recovery and not through ROM Manager. The use of superwipe.zip files is not recommended either. Before doing any wipes, make sure you have done all of your backups!
There are 2 different types of recovery that most people will be using: CWM or 4EXT. The instructions below tell you how to do a full wipe.
Clockworkmod Recovery: First of all, select wipe data/factory reset, then go in to mounts and storage and select format /cache, format/data, format /system. Then head into advanced and select wipe dalvik cache.
4EXT Recovery: Head in to Wipe / Format and select wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, format system, format data, format cache and format boot. The latest 4EXT recoveries also have a "Format all partitions (except SDcard" option which does it all in a single click.
(Q) Whats the difference between Odexed and DeOdexed roms?
(A) Its complicated and a Google search is the best advice. These are the basics: a deodexed ROM has all the files neatly arranged in blocks, each block doing its own thing. This is easy to theme as everything needed is in the one apk folder.
In odexed ROMs, the files arranged in a different way, so common shared parts may already be open when you go to start the application. In theory this is quicker; however, you are reliant on a fast SD card to benefit fully. The downside is theming as the file structure means that certain necessary files will be shared with other system apps.
Note that older versions of Runnymede were offered in odexed and deodexed variants, but the new version isn't anymore.

Customization Q&A:
(Q) Where can I get Arabic support?
(A) XDA member docnasef has put together a package for you. Here is a link to the post with zip attachment. This gives you Arabic / Hebrew support in messages, sms, mail, and browser, with correct RTL.
(Q) Can I customize the notification bar?
(A) Yes. You can make changes in Menu>Settings>RCMix3D Tweaks>Settings.
Alternatively, there are flashable zips in the addons section of the OP.
If there is nothing you want from that selection, why not "cook" your own in the online kitchen. Many thanks to angusc for his quick guide here.
(Q) Why won't my UOT modifications work? After installing, none of them (or only some of them) show up!
(A) This is almost always down to the location of the system files (framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and com.htc.resources.apk). In the stock and CM7r2 versions of the ROM, these files are in different places, which is important for UOT mods.
- SystemUI.apk is located in /sd-ext/app_s/ for both stock and CM7r2 HBOOT.
- Framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk are in /system/framework/ for stock HBOOT, and /sd-ext/framework_s/ for CM7r2 HBOOT.
Depending on which HBOOT version you have, you need to select the location of these files in the UOT Kitchen (in the File Upload tab); otherwise your modified system files will be installed to the wrong location, and they won't work!
For a more detailed explanation about how to apply UOT Kitchen modifications for this ROM, check out this guide by angusc. Many thanks to him!
(Q) Can I use SetCPU or similar to control the CPU instaed of the Daemon OC which is pre-installed?
(A) Yes, but be warned... as soon as you install another clock control tool like SetCPU, it will be detected on startup and over-ride Daemon OC Controller. Daemon Controller is recognized as the best for your phone, reacting to screen on/off a lot quicker than a Java app so will be more efficient. If you want SetCPU because you can see time in state (a feature not included in Daemon Controller) why not install CPU Spy (free) from the market?

I only tried Cools Runnymede rom...
This one feels much smoother to me, i was struggling yesterday trying to make Cools version to work properly but couldnt get it done, obviously sebastian did
i'll try this rom , does the ultra smooth rosie work with this rom?
greetz
I didnt try it but i guess part of the tweaking made by sebastian includes replacing the Rosie.apk, but thats for him to answer as im just guessing...

So I created a new thread for this so I can edit the first post for release-info.

Please note that the multiboot-feature will be removed if you update your real system.
The virtual systems will stay on the sdcard so just reinstall the mod and you can boot your virtual systems again
Changelog:
Code:
[B]v0.8:[/B]
- addon.d (Multiboot will be kept on ROM-Update)
- working reboot recovery inside multiboot-rom(will boot directly into the recovery for that rom)
- working reboot into bootmenu inside multiboot-rom
- security-fixes
- TLS-support
- fixed sdcard-problems for NAND-system
[B]v0.7:[/B]
- added integration in touchbootmenu. This is no compatibility-patch - since now multiboot can only be used in combination with touchbootmenu
[B]v0.6.1:[/B]
- fixed some memory-leaks in kernel-module
- fixed stupid bug which prevented creating backups on first start
[B]v0.6:[/B]
- new hook-method with kernel-side code which should be the solution to most rom-problems
- fixed a bug which prevented mounting cache-partition inside recovery
- fixed installer-bug when TouchBootmenu is used on NAND
- reboot to recovery/bootmenu does not work for now. will be fixed in future
[B]v0.5.5:[/B]
- support for Stock-roms with Greenbreadmod
- added version-file(for updater which comes soon)
[B]v0.5.4:[/B]
- fixed problem with install-script
[B]v0.5.3:[/B]
- support for TWRP recovery
- fixed problem with virtual systems with names longer than 9 chars
- don't change 2ndBoot-script for bootmenus with 2ndSystem-support
- show graphical error-message when error was detected and copy log to "/cache/multiboot/error.log"
- experimental support for booting stock-roms
[B]v0.5.2:[/B]
- more configurable(via config-file)
- fixed error-detection. On early errors you will get back to bootmenu
- fix boot-problems for some roms
[B]v0.5.1:[/B]
- fixed crash of GUI when choosing recovery
- fixed bug which prevented creating important images on first boot
- virtual systems now are using nand-backups with real data so you could install backups of virtual systems on NAND
- installer sets default bootmode to 2nd-boot
- added recovery-option for NAND
- patch background-image of virtual recovery so you see if you are flashing real or virtual system
- reboot system if you click "Go Back" in virtual recovery(until I found a solution for going back to multiboot-GUI)
[B]v0.5:[/B]
- better protection against unwanted changes on real partitions(thanks wizwin)
- fix Phone for for GB-kernel(thanks quarx)
- set props so apps can detect if phone started with multiboot or not(for future versions of multiboot-manager)
- reboot into bootmenu/recovery now works
ATTENTION: reboot into recovery will open recovery for REAL system!!!
- added GUI for choosing which (virtual) system you want to boot
[B]v0.4:[/B]
- replacing all references to real system with stub-image(will be automatically created at /sdcard/fsimage/stub.img).
Now the recovery for the virtual system should be completely abstracted and it shouldn't make any changes to the real system
- a PDS-backup will be created and injected because it's needed by android-system and above change removes the reference
[B]v0.3/v0.3.1:[/B]
- moving original system-partition to another location instead of lazy unmount so she will be accessible in 2ndBoot-system and will not be busy
- fixed recovery to improve installer-zip compatibility. MIUI works now
- internal script-changes
[B]v0.2:[/B]
- "Install zip from SDcard" works now
- changed hook-method so it works with more ROM's(including ICS)
[B]v0.1:[/B]
First release

https://github.com/M1cha/DefyMultiboot
Download:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1289953&d=1346244428
Installation:
1. Download zip-file and copy to sdcard
2. create 3 filesystem-images in ext3-format and copy them to /sdcard/multiboot/NAME with the names system.img, data.img and cache.img.
Please replace NAME with the folder-name of your virtual system(you have to create this)
You can download ready-to-use images from here:
http://www.multiupload.com/VY3U4IXRO1
2. install zip-file in CWM
Some info:
- The menu-entry "Lastest Recovery" is no longer supported and will affect your real system!
- boot the System-Chooser with the 2ndBoot-option in bootmenu
Bugs:
- Data-Wipe deletes android_secure
Donate:
Developing Multiboot makes much fun and I really like the results but takes much time, so feel free to donate a beer.
Hey,
i have no "Lastest Recovery" but a "Custom Recovery"
Can i install your script or does it not work with this version of the Bootmenu?
Which rom do you have installed?
I will check if it's compatible.
Thanks for the fast answer
i installed the CM7.2 Nightly "cm72-111125.0850-NIGHTLY-Defy"
The nightlys should always have the newest version of bootmenu.
Where you downloaded the nightly? I only could find "cm72-111123.1710-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip".
But generally it would work if you install but the problem is that you will never be able to change your real system because recovery will only make changes to the virtual one.
That bootmenu has 2 recovery-entrys is a lucky thing which I use as trick so I don't need to modify bootmenu
But when bootmenu-integration is done and you have an old version you will have to update bootmenu.
updated to v0.4
See first post for more info
Gonna try this now. I downloaded your empty .img files but how do I create my own img's on Win7? And what do you think is the smallest size I can make them safely to use with MIUI or ICS?
I don't know how you can create the images on windows, sry.
Maybe I can write a little App which does this directly on Android.
I have to admit that the images I uploaded are a little bit oversized.
system needs max 200MB
cache and data depends on your usage.
I would choose a minimum of 100MB for data and cache. If you plan to install many Apps you should make the data-partition over 300-500MB
Doesn't matter, instructions for Linux would do too
Hmm..oversized but no prob downloading because they were empty, only transferring via USB takes time. 200 MB for system and data and 100 for cache sounds good I'll make them myself if you can give me the instructions, I have Ubuntu.
App to do this on the phone itself sounds good, makes it even faster, no transferring from PC Thanks for your work
The Problem is that I can't find a mkfs.ext3-binary for Android
Maybe I'll extract it from another phone which contains this.
But as of now, here are the instructions:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=./system.img bs=1000000 count=200
mkfs.ext3 ./system.img
The number 200 specifies the size in MegaBytes. I hope this will help you so far
Sure does
But like the poster above said, CM7 latest nightiles contain Custom Recovery, Stable Recovery, and Stock Recovery in the Bootmenu option for recovery. So Custom Recovery = Latest Recovery for your tool? I remember it used to say Latest recovery a few months back, dunno when that changed.
Oh, now I unsterstand what he wants to say.
I thought there is ONLY "custom recovery".
But if there are two recovery's it's ok to install. So you can use "Custom Recovery" for your virtual filesystem.
I'm downloading the CM7-source so I can extend and compile bootmenu and everything will be easier.
But with a download-speed of 170KiB/s this will take a long time
How fast is the virtual system? Could it be laggy because it is loaded from the sd-card?
the time from bootmenu to the boot-process itself takes a little bit time sometimes if I'm debugging.
But normally the booted system is in normal speed for me.
I think this depends on the speed of your sd-card and the usage of your apps.

What class brand capacity card do you use?
I'll be trying with miui and ics tonight
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I don't know which class my card is because there is no label. It's completely black
But I don't think I have the best one(maybe class 2 or something else?)
An APP for windows to create ext-3 partitions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824154
download link: http://www.multiupload.com/SV7SOY33MQ
I have a 8GB class 4 card. Will test it in a few minutes with CM7 as real system and ICS as virtual system. Do you know what happen if I restore a backup in the real system? As far as I know a backup will override the bootmenu, too. Or am I wrong?
Yes, that will override the bootmenu.
But your virtual system stays on the sdcard.
You just need to patch again bootmenu with the downloaded "defy_multiboot_vX".
I'm on CM7 latest nightly and got boot loop when i tried to install Galnet MIUI ICS on virtual system. Could you fix it?
